The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the organisation responsible for regulating the UK private security industry. We work closely with the industry, enforcement partners, Government and the devolved administrations to meet our objectives.

Our current Chief Executive, Alan Clamp, will be leaving us in the autumn to take on a new role and we are keen to ensure that we appoint someone who can continue to lead the development of the Security Industry Authority (SIA).

We recently moved into the newly opened Government Hub in Canary Wharf, and the focus for the coming year is to develop the online licensing system, implement changes following the review of the Approved Contractor Scheme and improve standards in the industry.

Playing its part in protecting the public remains the SIA's priority.

We are now looking for a new Chief Executive who will build on the successful foundation that has been established, someone who will bring a successful track record of leadership at Board level in the public or private sector. You will be a strong leader with the ability to develop and implement strategy and deliver operational priorities while taking the organisation with you as we seek to continually improve. Excellent stakeholder engagement skills will be critical and a demonstrable ability to adapt your style to engage with partners at all levels both internally and externally will set you apart.

This is an exciting time to join the SIA. For further information about this opportunity and to apply, please click on 'Apply'. For a confidential discussion, please contact our advisers Michael Dobson on 020 7426 3968, Jemima Dalgliesh on 07393 013066 or Matt Malone on 0113 205 6063
